    An ad hominem argument attacks an opponent's character rather than responding to the contentions made. It appeals to feelings or prejudices instead of intellect. For example, arguing against vegetarianism by pointing out that someone is eating steak fails to address the actual arguments for vegetarianism.

    attack on an
    opponent's character
    rather than by an
    answer to the

    you argue your case
    for vegetarianism
    when you are
    enjoying your
    steak?
